The beam of convergent light is the way the rays come from different directions which finally meet at a specific point, then that collection of the rays of light can be called as convergent rays or convergent beam of light Divergent is the opposite of convergent light. A divergent beam of light is known when the light is known to start at a given point to travel to different directions. Those collections of rays from one point to different directions can be called as divergent rays or beam of light Hope this helps read less

When the rays of light starting from a point travel in different directions, then the collection of such rays is termed a divergent beam of light. "When the rays of light coming from different directions meet at a point, then the collection of such rays is termed a convergent beam of light.

When rays are diverging from a source of light, they are spreading out as they travel, then they are divergent rays. Eg: Rays that are coming out of a common electric bulb, rays that are coming out of a concave lens and rays that are coming reflected from a convex mirror. When rays are converging...

Eg: Rays that are coming out of a common electric bulb, rays that are coming out of a concave lens and rays that are coming reflected from a convex mirror. When rays are converging towards a point as they travel forward, then they are convergent rays or beam. Eg: Rays that are coming out of a convex lens and rays that are reflected from a concave mirror. read less

When a beam of light fallen on curved surface all the rays comes closer and meet at point on principle Axis of curved surface and forms image at that point. Divergent rays are the rays after fallen on curved surface deflects away from the principle Axis.
